*Sometimes this talkgroup is used whenever Joplin PD and Jasper County officers work together. This patch allows interagency transmissions between trunked and VHF systems.

**Whenever a fire dispatcher pages METS, TG 4855 is used even though you may hear the transmission on 5360. TG 4855 keeps the repeater from being tied up with two separate transmissions.

Here is some additional information:

1. Joplin is planning a digital upgrade in the future; I do not know whether it will be APCO-25 compliant.
2. Officers assigned to special operations, investigations, and supervision have access to a VHF frequency for inter-agency communications.
3. The Joplin Police Department has public outreach programs and welcomes inquiries from the public. If you desire more information about police operations, contact the department to learn more about community policing and crime prevention programs.
4. Visit http://www.mokanscan.com to see more local frequencies. There is also scanning information for other locations in Kansas and Missouri.
5. For even more talkgroups, visit the Joplin public safety page at radioreference.com.
6. Some talkgroup information provided by Andy Gabbert.
